“My daughter, look at the creation:
the sky, the countless stars, the sun, the wind, the sea, the flowered fields, the peaks and the valleys - they are all rooms which I formed, and in
each room I formed My court so that I could live there. This I did so as to give man the easy
possibility of wherever he wanted to come he could find his God. I made it easy to find [God]
immediately, and everywhere. And God
placed Himself in each room in an act of waiting for him, [and] left all the
rooms open so man wouldn’t have to bother with knocking, but thus could enter
freely as often as he wanted; God was ready to receive him.
“The Creator of heaven and earth didn’t place Himself in
one single place, but everywhere, so that man could find Him everywhere. He placed these rooms very close together to
form many shortcuts, because there must not be
any distance between Creator and creature, but closeness and communion. So all these rooms were and are relations,
ties, and ways between God and man.
“But who was to have maintained these relations
active, who was to have consolidated these ties, ordered the ways, and opened
the doors? Our Will
reigning in the soul was to have had this responsibility so important in
maintaining the order of creation just as we put it forth. When man withdrew from the Divine Fiat, the
relations were no longer active, the ties were undone, the paths barricaded,
and the doors closed. [Man] lost his
dear inheritance, remaining stripped of all goods, and each step was a loose shoestring between his feet which
made him fall. Not doing Our Will he
lost everything, and there was no good which remained. By doing It he acquires everything; there is
no good that is not restored to him.
“What did the Paternal goodness of the Creator not do in creation for love of man? Not only did He form many rooms but they were
different one from another so that He could be found in many different ways, by
[man] whom He loved. In the sun He let
Himself be found invested in light, all majesty, burning with love, waiting for
man to give him His light, to make Himself understood, [and] to give him His
love so that man, entering into this room to find his God, would himself become light
and love. In the sea He let Himself be found as the strong God to
give man strength. In the wind He let Himself be found ruling and dominating
so as to give man rule and dominion. In other words, in each created thing God
was waiting for man so that He could make him participate in all of His
qualities.”
Vol. 21, May, 26, 1927Each aspect in the Creation contains a specific attribute of God made manifest for the purpose of teaching man about God. Each created thing is as a book which when we study brings us further knowledge of God and therefore closer to Him and not only that but this is designed so that we might possess these attributes in ourselves in order to make us more like our Heavenly Father. In the Divine Will we can enter these rooms, learn and grow, and then return to God all that he has given us in each room for ourselves and all people and generations.
“Besides that, all Our Divine qualities are spread
out in creation, and each created thing occupies an office of Our Attributes. One is a child of Our Power, another of Justice, another of Light, another of Peace, another of Goodness - each created thing is a child of one of Our
Attributes. So when you bring Me all of
creation, you are the bearer of My happiness which is scattered in it, and I recognize My
child of the light, of the sun, and my child of justice. In the sea I recognize the child of the surging wind, and the child of peace in the flowering earth. In other words I recognize each part of My Attributes in all
created things, and I rejoice in recognizing My children which the little daughter of My Volition
brings to Me. I do just as that father who has many children and each one of them
occupies an office of love ‑ one is prince, one is judge, one is a representative, one is a senator, one is a governor. The father feels happier as he recognizes
each of these offices in the very fruit of his loins, and the honored nobility of his
own children.
“All things
were created to flow before and delight the children of
the Supreme Fiat, and as I see you bring back to Us Our works We recognize in
you Our design; and oh, how We rejoice seeing you make your rounds to
gather together all Our works to again give Us Our joy which
is dispersed in all of creation. So let
your flight in My Will be continuous.”
Vol. 21, Feb. 3, 1927
"...Such is our Divinity, we have extended our Paternity in an infinite way in all the Creation, as Father we are all eyes over our children, so that they lack nothing, our arms feel the extreme need of love of pressing her to our bosom in order to give her love and to receive love, and when we see the creature who races to us, wants our embraces, oh, how happy we feel that our Paternity is recognized and can develop the office of Father for our children! Our generation is almost innumerable, and yet few children surround us, all the others are distant from us, distant with heart, with will, far from our likeness, and in our sorrow in seeing few children around us we say: ‘And our other children where are they? How (is it that) they don’t feel the need to have a Celestial Father, to receive our Paternal caresses, to possess our goods?’ Therefore be attentive, recognize our goods, our works, and you will feel our Paternity in the Sky bombarded with stars, that calls you daughter in their gentle twinkling and attests to you of the love of your Father. Our Paternity extends itself in the Sun, that with its vibrant light calls you daughter and says to you: ‘Recognize in my light the great gift of your Father, that loves you so much, that he wants that you be the possessor of this light.’ Our Paternity extends itself everywhere, in the water that you drink, in the food that you take, in the varieties of beauties of all nature, [our works] have a common voice, that all call you daughter of the great Celestial Father, and as his daughter they want to be possessed by you. Now what would be our contentment, if in all things created by us, to our tender voice (that) calls you daughter, we might hear your voice that might call us Father, and might say to us: ‘This is gift of my Father, oh, how he loves me! And I want to love him a great, great deal.’”
Vol. 29, June 23, 1921
Each created thing is as a book, full of the knowledge of the Divine Will, of God himself. And the interior of the creature is to be a great volume, a mirror of all the Creation and the Redemption and of Sanctification. He desires that we be full and complete.
It calls for attention and gratitude and so love springs forth and God's game of love continues in us.
"...Therefore, my daughter, if you will be attentive to always live of my Will, He will entrust all the secrets of the story of the Creation to you, he will make the deposit in your soul of all his joys and his intimate sorrows, and as his secretary, with his vibrant light, transforming itself into brush he will paint in you the Sun, the Sky, the stars, the sea, the beautiful flowerings. Because when He speaks he is not content with words alone, to his inextinguishable love and his interminable light words are not enough for him, but he wants to do deeds, and therefore with his creative virtue, while he entrusts his secrets, he speaks and forms the new creation in the creature, he is not content to speak his secrets, but he wants to make for her works that contain his secrets. Hence new Heavens, Suns more brilliant than the Creation itself will be seen in the creature that lives in my Will. Because you should know that He holds a longing, an ardent desire to always want to work, but he goes finding one who wants to listen and one who wants to receive his creative virtue, in order not to expose his works to uselessness, and in order to be secure he goes finding his same Will in the soul, and finding him he finds his works guaranteed by his same Divine Fiat, therefore he does not spare anything and he makes for you the most beautiful works and the greatest prodigies. Oh, Power of my omnipotent Volition, if everyone might know you, they might love you and might let you reign, earth would be changed into Heaven!”

Each created thing is as a book, full of the knowledge of the Divine Will, of God himself. And the interior of the creature is to be a great volume, a mirror of all the Creation and the Redemption and of Sanctification. He desires that we be full and complete.
“My daughter, one who does
my Will and lives in Him forms in her soul the book of the Divine Fiat, but this
book must be full, no void, or else some (partially)
written page; if it is not full she will
immediately finish reading it, and not having that to read she will occupy herself with
other, and hence the life of my Divine Will will be interrupted and as broken
in the creature. Instead if she is full, she will always hold (something) to
read, and if it seems that she finishes, I will add on other pages more sublime, in order to make that she never lacks the life, the always new
knowledge and the substantial food of my Divine Volition. So that the interior must be as so many pages in
order to form this book, pages the intelligence, pages the will and the memory, page the desire, the affection, the heartbeat, page the word that must know how to repeat that which has been read,
otherwise it will remain a book that won’t do good for anyone, while [for] one
who forms a book the first purpose is to propagate it. Hence the entire interior must be written
with pages of my Divine Will, and this book must be so very full, as to not be
able to find other to read if not my Will alone. Now when the soul has her interior book full, she will know much good
(of) the exterior book of the Divine Will: all the Creation is none other than (a) book
of Him, every created thing is a page that forms a most great book and of many
volumes. Whence having formed her
interior book and (having) read it very well, she will know how to read very
well the exterior book of all the Creation, and in all things she will re-find
my Divine Will in act to give her his life, his most high and sublime lessons, and his dainty and holy food.
It will happen, to one who has formed in her interior this book of the
Divine Fiat and read it very well, as [to] one who has possessed a book, has
read it and reread it, has studied well the most difficult things, has smoothed
out all the difficulties, made clear the most obscure points, in a way that she has
consumed her life over that book, if a person of outside might bring her
another similar book, she will most certainly know it and will recognize in
that book hers. More so that my Divine
Will has enclosed the creature in his Most Holy circle and has put in the depth
of (her) soul the book of his Fiat, and in the Creation he has repeated his
divine book, in a way that the one makes the echo in the other and they understand
each other admirably. Behold therefore
it is necessary to recognize the book of the Divine Fiat in the depth of one’s
own soul, to read it very well in order to make perennial life of it, and thus with facility
she can read the beautiful pages and the great book of my Will of all the
Creation.”
Vol. 29, July 6, 1931It calls for attention and gratitude and so love springs forth and God's game of love continues in us.
"...Therefore, my daughter, if you will be attentive to always live of my Will, He will entrust all the secrets of the story of the Creation to you, he will make the deposit in your soul of all his joys and his intimate sorrows, and as his secretary, with his vibrant light, transforming itself into brush he will paint in you the Sun, the Sky, the stars, the sea, the beautiful flowerings.
